Hi
Does anyone know whether improving the microbiome can increase the effectiveness of chemo, and/or improve cancer outcome generally?
Hi Ma78
I have no idea about this but I was told by my consultant not to take any supplements without first talking with him as some supplements can have a negative effect in the effectiveness of some chemos and on your general health due to interactions with various meds that we often have to take.
You could put your question to our Nurse Tear in our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
